Scalise’s End-of-Year Recap: One Year of Republicans Delivering on our Promises

JEFFERSON, LA. - As we approach the end of the first year of the 119th Congress, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement on the progress House Republicans have made in delivering on President Trump's America-First agenda:

"During the first year of the 119th Congress, House Republicans worked closely with President Trump and his administration to fulfill our promises to boost the U.S. economy, secure our border, unleash American energy, keep crime and drugs out of our communities, roll back costly regulations, root out government waste, and lower costs. We quickly enacted key provisions of the America First agenda, passing legislation to codify 70 of President Trump's Executive Orders, and had 61 bills signed into law, including 22 CRAs - the most CRAs signed into law by any Congress - to undo costly and unnecessary Biden regulations.

"In July, we passed President Trump's signature legislation, the Working Families Tax Cut, to deliver the largest tax cut in American history, increase the Child Tax Credit for over 40 million families, ensure 88 percent of all seniors who receive Social Security will get a special deduction to offset their taxes, and fulfill our promises of no tax on tips and no tax on overtime - all while securing historic savings of over $1 trillion. Additionally, the President signed into law our Rescissions Act of 2025to save $9 billion in wasteful spending that was going to the far-left Corporation for Public Broadcasting and radical foreign aid initiatives.

"We've also passed legislation to make our communities safe again and prevent violent criminals from walking free on our streets, including the Laken Riley Act, the HALT Fentanyl Act, and the DC CRIMES Act. Taking on "Green New Scam" policies and bureaucrats' regulatory attack on domestic production, House Republicans passed legislation such as the SPEED Act and the PERMIT Actto streamline permitting and unlock America's ability to build roads, bridges, pipelines and other projects quickly again, supporting job creation while lowering costs for households. We continued to address Democrat-created problems by passing the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Actto reform our health care system by improving options, expanding choice for workers and families, increasing transparency and competition in health care, and lowering premiums for ALL Americans.

"These are just a few ways House Republicans have delivered for the American people this year and followed through on our promises - and we're far from done. Next year, we will continue working with President Trump to carry out his America First agenda and achieve real, commonsense wins. House Republicans won't stop fighting to make America safer, stronger, freer, and more prosperous for every American."
